Rogue Special Prosecutor

"This time it was a pro-war Republican caught in the snare,which is why many liberals are cheering. But what goesaround comes around, and I wonder if my friends wouldfeel the same way if this technique were used to indict,convict and imprison one of our friends. As it might havebeen, during the Clinton years."

"The whole phenomenon of special prosecutors turns theusual rules of investigating on their head. Instead offocusing on crimes, special prosecutors tend to focuson people themselves. Dig deep enough, ask enoughquestions, particularly under oath, and only those mostexperienced with the criminal justice system are likelyto escape unscathed. Hardened criminals know enoughto shut up."sourcehttp://www.creators.com/opinion/susan-estrich.html------------
